EcoConstruct

EcoConstruct is an interactive tool that simulates urbanization’s impact on wildlife by combining physical models with a portable tablet. It enables users to explore how human activities affect habitats and experiment with restoration, fostering a deeper understanding of environmental change and coexistence solutions.
Select a location to view data on population, urbanization, building density, and pollution (air, noise, ground), gaining insights into urban impact and helping architecture students assess ecological effects.
Toggle between local animals in the simulation, accessing detailed, dynamic data based on their actions and the location's original status through a pull-out menu.
View detailed data, including percentage increases or declines in population, pair counts, habitat size, and nesting. A breakdown of food sources is also provided, all of which dynamically change based on user actions.
